13 <br />1 For over four decades Wayne Trapp has been creating and making "site-specific" <br />2 sculpture for a wide range of clients including school districts, hospitals, transit stations, banks <br />3 and public parks. Mr. Trapp has many years of experience in working with engineers, building <br />4 inspectors and design firms and has been commissioned for site specific sculptures all over the <br />5 world. Wayne Trapp's sculpture was previously commissioned for the Seymour Center in <br />6 Chapel Hill. For images of previous work and more information, please visit Mr. Trapp's <br />7 website at www.wavnetrapp.com. <br />8 Wayne Trapp's site specific public art commission for the Orange County Main Public <br />9 Library in Hillsborough will be constructed using materials of lasting quality such as weathering <br />10 steel (cor-ten). The addition of several rocks from local quarries can be used for seating <br />11 purposes. <br />12 Mr. Trapp's thoughts about this sculpture for our new library are as follows: "The ebb <br />13 and flow of nature is a primary impulse for this classic contemporary sculpture. The open <br />14 gesture of this piece of art is one that will integrate this historic building into a 21St century <br />15 environment, allowing the energy of the past to become a part of the energy of today's world. <br />16 The spirit of this sculpture is expansive yet gentle, a symbolic honoring of the past while inviting <br />17 it to become a part of the present....allowing both to proceed in a meaningful way for many <br />18 future generations to enjoy." <br />19 If authorized by the Board and the Hillsborough Historic District Commission, the public <br />20 artwork by artist Wayne Trapp will be located in a 13 ft. x 40 ft. space located on the northeast <br />21 side of the main entrance to the library facing Margaret Lane. <br />22 FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total project budget of $10,000 comes from $5,000 allocated <br />23 by the Board in the CIP and $5,000 in matching funds from the Friends of the Orange County <br />24 Public Library. <br />25 <br />26 A motion was made by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger <br />27 to approve authorizing the County Manager to sign the Orange County Main Library Public Art <br />28 agreement with artist Wayne Trapp contingent upon final review by the County Attorney and the <br />29 Historic Hillsborough District Commission. <br />30 <br />31 Commissioner Jacobs said that he mentioned something about finding a place for the <br />32 other sculpture. He would like to have Martha Shannon work with the Historic Hillsborough <br />33 District Commission before commissioning artwork for downtown Hillsborough. He would like to <br />34 tie this in with the justice facility. <br />35 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />36 <br />37 7. Reports <br />38 a.
